Based on its molecular formula C11H16N2O3S2, (4S)-2-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (S)-4,5-Dihydro-2-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (S)-4,5-dihydro-2-(6-hydroxy-2-benzothiazolyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid (S)-4,5-dihydro-2-(6-hydroxybenzothiazol-2-yl)thiazole-4-carboxylic acid 2591-17-5 CHEBI:17165 Photinus luciferin firefly luciferin contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 288.39 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
(4S)-2-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (S)-4,5-Dihydro-2-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (S)-4,5-dihydro-2-(6-hydroxy-2-benzothiazolyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid (S)-4,5-dihydro-2-(6-hydroxybenzothiazol-2-yl)thiazole-4-carboxylic acid 2591-17-5 CHEBI:17165 Photinus luciferin firefly luciferin (CAS 2591-17-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H16N2O3S2 and a molecular weight of 288.39 g/mol.
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
